There's actually no service that I know of that runs an unlimited data suscriptioin. They all have caps. The excuse is that the cost of doing business in Nigeria is exorbitant. Business wise, you'd think broadband would be cheap in Nigeria because of the large population of people available to offer the service to, but the population in Nigeria that actually counts is Lagos. Broadband is almost non existent elsewhere. Outside Lagos and Abuja, only expertriates and the extremely well to do use one form of broadband or the other. As long as the service providers continue to restrict their operations to Lagos, they will not enjoy the economies of scale accruing from our large population and with the combined costs of doing business in Nigeria, their data charges will stay high. |

Cchuks27: Quite unbelievable some people are satisfied with being exploited, they don't like progress like things that will be of great benefit to everyone rather than breaking rules or security. The mtn bb subscription he was talking abt is even having some restrictions. Everybody cannot break security which is every illegal |

I used to pay about 10,000 naira for a 2 Mbps and 55Gigabyte download cap spectranet package in Nigeria that i thought was good. I moved to the US and i pay comcast $55 a month (about 10,500 naira)for an unlimited package with speeds of up to 100 Mbps. The sad truth is that one dollar in America( or the rest of the developed world) gets you much more than one dollar(N192) in Nigeria. Everything from the size and quality of my house to the metro/bus i ride to school: u just get much more value for the money you pay in a developed environment compared to what you get back home. 1 Like |

This is why Nigeria will never improve! You can shout about the NCC and govt all day but they are doing this because the population allows it. Imagine many of the commenters here are trying to defend the status quo. I am sorry to say this but Nigerians are among the most stupid people in the world. A case in point is the elections where people are fighting online between the 2 main candidates instead of demanding for better service delivery. (Do they even know that word here?) No wonder Lagbaja talked about 100 million mumus. When someone tries to stand up and point out this deficits people call him a trouble maker. Its high time Nigerians stop fooling themselves with this giant of Africa nonsense when smaller African countries offer a higher quality of life. Mark my words, one day this country will go on the boil an implode and all your silly prayers will do nothing to stop it. One Jason Njoku of Iroko TV went to East Africa and talked about the costs of internet use there which has prompted him to open up a branch of his company there.

lynx200: They defend the status quo so that their "PAYMASTERS" don't look bad.. They defend the status quo because they are not enlightened enough.. They defend the status quo because they think change will affect them negatively.. They defend the status quo cos they don't use google to search standard of living in other countries. They defend the status quo cos they have never left Nigeria. E.t.c 2 Likes |
